Incubating
Under way; nothing published yet.
Independent Research
Problem: Probabilistic AI is hard to make dependable in real systems.
Two research questions, numbered experiments, published write-ups.
First write-up published. No experiments run yet.
Acropolis Edge Lab
Problem: How useful and dependable can local AI become under hardware, latency and offline constraints?
A student research lab based at Acropolis in Indore. Two projects investigate offline Hinglish voice Q&A and people counting on student laptops and Android phones.
I direct two student teams investigating offline voice and vision, with weekly reviews at Acropolis. First cohort: October 2026.
Maintained systems
Built, shipped, and kept running.
Knos Digest
Problem: Too much noise in tech news; wanted a personalized, high-signal daily digest.
A personalized Hacker News digest delivered via WhatsApp — sentence-transformer embeddings, author reputation tracking, deduplication, SQLite.
Ran daily for months with real users.
Writing practice
A long-running newsletter.
State Overflow
Problem: Wanted a space to explore statistical thinking about everyday decisions.
A newsletter applying a data scientist's lens to decisions, uncertainty, and life.
One essay a month, drawn from the statistics I teach the Edge Lab cohort.
Personal systems
Instruments I built for myself.
Metrics Dashboard
Problem: Wanted to observe daily habits without a productivity app.
A static heatmap dashboard fed by Obsidian frontmatter — four daily habits, week types, milestones. It measures consistency.
Updated from my daily notes.
Attention Experiment
Problem: A decade of interrupt-driven days cost me something in sustained technical thought, and I wanted to know how much.
A four-month protocol, Aug–Dec 2026, observing the length and depth of focused work.
Running since August 2026.
Dormant & archived
Paused or finished.
Memo Agent
Problem: Wanted to save and retrieve links and notes from messaging apps without leaving the conversation.
A keyword-triggered knowledge base across WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord — automatic metadata extraction, auto-tagging, local SQLite.
